We had a fab time. Jack the rooster made sure we woke daily at 6am. A the manager made sure we were safe in our first ever tsunami evacuation. The snorkeling with the turtles in the "back yard" was the cherry on top!

Steps away from Carlsmith Beach Park

The unit is lovely and well decorated and furnished. Everything we could want for beach excursions was here from chairs to tote bags. Snorkel and mask too. Great stay! We'll be back!

Wonderful week in Hilo

My husband and I stayed in this condo for 9 days and enjoyed every minute. First of all, Salt Water Vacations staff were wonderful. We had a local liaison introduce herself and was present for any concerns we might have had. They bent over backwards to make our stay comfortable. The condo was very comfortable and inviting. The bed in the main bedroom was so comfortable. Kitchen well stocked. We met many wonderful people there at Mauna Loa Shores. Big shout out to Mr. Gomez, the building supervisor. Extremely helpful. I enjoyed the pool every day and the best part of the day was swimming in the lagoons of Carl Smith park. Right behind the building. Turtles!! beautiful. Will for certain return.

Clean, comfortable, safe, and quiet. Older building though.

The property is older but it was a great location right next to the beach. It had a damp smell when we first walked in but we opened the windows and door and it went away. The pool looked dirty so we didnt use it but we saw others who swam in it. Having to use a key to open the elevator was a bit irritating when you have your hands full. Also, this is a non smoking property. If you smoke you have to walk out of the parking lot. The unit itself was great, other then it does not have AC. The standup fans were nice to have and we used them everyday. They had everything we needed for the beach, which was wonderful. We used the rafts and the chairs. The air pump was great to have. Thanks for thinking of that! We never used the stove, only the microwave and toaster. Both worked just fine. The water in the shower doesnt get hot, just warm, but with no AC, cool showers were nice. All of the furniture in the unit was comfortable. The beds, couches and chairs, even the balcony chairs were comfortable. There isnt a washer and dryer in the unit but there is one coin washer and dryer on the floor next to the elevator. The closets and dressers have plenty of space. They only have about 8 hangers for use though so if you want to hang things you'll have to go buy hangers. The parking spot is right in front of the unit so you can see your car if you open the door. I loved the screen on the front door. It was nice to let the air flow through the unit when the balcony door was open too.

The condo itself was cozy, clean, and very secure. Despite no a/c, tge breeze from the ocean and ceiling fans kept us very comfortable. The pool was nice as well, and laundry room steps from the unit. The location was great as well, less than 10 minutes from Hilo airport and town. I would recommend this to anyone staying on this side of the island.

Heaven in Hilo

Steps from Carlsmith and everything you need for an amazing vacation. Home away from home only better. Location is central to everything in Hilo and points North and South. I loved every minute of my stay and will definitely return.

Not Going Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time staying at the condo. Clean, comfortable, and staff that goes out of their way to help. And Carlsmith Beach Park... spectacular! The only thing I would have liked is A/C (which none of the condos in the area have), but it wasn't a sticking point. Pun intended.

Hale Honu Steps from the Ocean at Maunaloa Shores Condo in Hilo 4/2025 stay

Hale Honu Steps from the Ocean at Maunaloa Shores Condo in Hilo review. The room booking was easy, and the management company was very responsive before and during our stay. The Condo is well-kept and clean. We had a wonderful time during our stay. This place is right next to Carlsmith Beach Park. I loved getting up in the morning and listening to the birds. At night, I like listening to the coquí frogs. They grow on you. Right behind the building is a dense forest to the right and the beach park to the left. You can go swimming or snorkeling in the ocean very close to the building. Rinse off in the shower and then hit the facility pool. We plan on coming back. It is not too far from downtown Hilo, and the Hilo Airport is very close. Thank you for letting us stay. Mahalo Nui Loa.

Hilo Time

Thank you for providing access to your home for vacation. The rental was clean and comfortable. We were very close to beautiful parks and the ocean. The lanai was large enough for all 4 adults in our party to enjoy together with a lovely view of the grounds and peaks of the water. We spent time in old Hilo as well as the nearby falls. Easy access to all. Thank you again

Lovely little spot near best snorkeling in Hilo

Loved our stay! We chose this property based on its proximity to Richardson Beach and it did not disappoint. The unit had everything we needed - even a cooler bag for a day trip to Kilauea. We felt comfy and very much at home. Really loved the artwork! The building itself is showing its age, but the unit is very much up to date. We enjoyed the rooster next door crowing us awake every morning at just the right time. We'd definitely come back for another stay.good morning

I chose this property because of location. It's literally on my childhood beach. It's extremely peaceful. Our suite was spacious and our lanai had a gorgeous view of some of the jungle & some ocean view. The coqui frogs get noisy at night but my ear plugs did the trick

It was an enjoyable stay.

Just steps from a fantastic beach, and a short walk to several others. The unit is in a great location, secure, and quite comfortable. The Wi-Fi works well. The kitchen had everything we needed. You can be at grocery stores, restaurants, and farmers' markets within a short drive. I'd stay here again.
